| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Domitian is poorly documented compared to the city's earlier imperial issues, and the damaged or uncertain legend reading — signaled by that bracketed gap in the colony title — points to a die that was either worn at striking or imperfectly cut from the outset. Corinth had held Roman colonial status since Julius Caesar refounded it in 44 BC, and its municipal bronze continued intermittently through the Flavian dynasty with no great administrative urgency driving production volumes.
The II#192 reference places this within a sparsely populated group.
